[LFEFox23]

Glad that's done with, shame it took so long (must be reasons, I don't even think Rudkin and Top are that inept!)

What do you think?

 

Ruud calls his legal team '' Yeh of course, happy to terminate my contract where I still have a cpl of years to run. What about money? Nah not bothered, I'll just forsake a cpl of million quid out the goodness of my heart.''

Maybe an agreement to pay after July 1st

[MattFox]

So the KPFC party line that we had to wait to July was BS then?

 

Looks like Top’s pulled their pants down again

I’m pretty sure it will still go into next year’s financial accounts. Remember last year we sold KDH in July and he went into 23/24 accounts not 24/25.

It crossed my mind, but you can mutually agree to a payout. 

I think mutual, is often used to try and not damage the persons CV and rep...your sacked! Or we can inform the press its mutual...just take a but of the severance pay.

We’ve probably used the Thai calendar and just breached PSR by sacking 5 days early.

There will be no further comment until this process has been completed.

What’s this meant to mean?
 

There’s never any ****ing comments from the club anyway, so no need to say this!

Those who had been insisting we couldn't say a word until July - either they're wrong or we have done a classic KPFC and handicapped ourselves for no reason.

 

Neither would surprise me.

Or we've hit the date where any pay out rolls into next season

It's one of those things, again, where you think surely they have waited to put it into next years.

 

We'll get an article from Percy in a few months confirming Teflon Jon ****ed up and its given us another reason for us to be charged.

News just in: Rudders set a scheduled send for end of June to confirm Ruud's exit...but thought June only had 27 days in it, so sent it too early.

[Tuna]

So apparantly compo will be paid after July 1st for PSR...so why wait so long for the announcement?

[Nolucklcfc]

Ruud has obviously decided to walk away which is why he’s been done now. It’s just annoying that it’s taken this long. 

[AKCJ]

I've just realised we're due to start pre-season training on Monday hahahah

Because now the limbo is minimal 

[Foxes1]

Coincidence it comes a day after the news that Danny Rohl is negotiating a deal to leave Sheff Weds.

Boom 💥 what we are all thinking , nailed it. However the club as per will say sweet FA

[LVFox]

With training starting on Monday, they either did it now, or had a PR shit show on Monday when players returned with no manager.

 

Don’t be fooled into thinking this is a financial timing decision, we don’t make those, it’s why we are in the shit

There seems to be a certain degree of flexibility with timing and the books, doesn't there? The KDH deal was finalised a couple of days after the 1st yet we were allowed to attribute it to the previous period.

 

We can terminate Ruud's contract a few days before the 1st and attribute it to the following period.

 

I imagine that loses a bit of credibility if we sack him in May at the end of the season but turn around and say "yeah but we'll totally give him his compo next year."

 

I know we like to accuse the club of a lot in terms of incompetence but I imagine stuff like this fairly straightforward and basic. We've managed to swerve punishment several seasons in a row, we're obviously not completely useless legally. I imagine the lawyers and accountants have confirmed this timing will be fine?

Say it with me.

 

WELL RUN CLUB! WELL RUN CLUB! 

[burleighfox]

Happy weekend everyone!

[Raj]

Thank god.

Good riddance 

[Haywood_6]

19 losses from 27 games. Nine consecutive games without scoring a goal at home. We were probably always going down, but the way we went down was nothing short of pathetic. It's not just him, it's the club mismanagement as a whole obviously. Still though, glad he's gone.

[Paninistickers]

His farewell thanks are limited to the players, coaches and staff.

 

No words of gratitude to his cucks!
